Two new catering establishments have added colour to the gastronomic map of Gy\u0151r\u2019s city centre. The <\/strong>Mankosha<\/em><\/strong> Palestinian bakery, located in <\/strong>Dr Kov\u00e1cs P\u00e1l utca<\/em><\/strong>, and the neighbouring <\/strong>6Dogs<\/em><\/strong> American hot dog bistro were both founded by graduates of Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, who prepare their culinary specialities in the spirit of tradition and quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The international student community of Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University has been growing steadily for years. Three young Palestinians decided to stay in Gy\u0151r after completing their studies last summer, establishing businesses that contribute to the cultural and gastronomic life of the region. Mohammed A. K. Aboalrob, who completed a Master\u2019s degree in International Economics and Business, and Anas Jamal Abdelqader Mohammad, a graduate in Vehicle Engineering, opened a traditional bakery, while their compatriot, Ahmad Ziad Odah Haddad, who earned his degree in Supply Chain Management, operates an American hot dog bistro in the city centre. The latter project was also joined by Jordanian Vehicle Engineering student Akram Alsaify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA friend recommended Sz\u00e9chenyi University to us because of the high standard of education and the institution\u2019s international reputation. When we started our Master\u2019s programme in 2023 and moved into the dormitory, we often missed the flavours of home, so we began baking in the shared kitchen. Our fellow students liked our food so much that they would often order our homemade pita bread after classes. It was them who suggested that we should open a bakery in Gy\u0151r, where everyone could buy our products, which would add a unique touch to the city\u2019s culinary scene,\u201d<\/em> explained Mohammed A. K. Aboalrob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that he opened\u00a0Mankosha<\/em><\/a>\u00a0together with his childhood friend, and that many Hungarian and international students from the university have already visited the shop during its first weeks.\u00a0\u201cWe have a strong and supportive community behind us, for which we are very grateful. We have noticed many similarities between Hungarian and Palestinian culture, as both value tradition and hospitality,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he continued. His business partner, Anas Jamal Abdelqader Mohammad, highlighted that the bakery was also well received by locals. They are particularly pleased when residents of Gy\u0151r come in to try the Middle Eastern flavours and leave satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe hope our good reputation will spread and that more and more people will get to know this aspect of Palestinian gastronomy. Back home, bakeries like ours are common, but we soon realised that in Hungary the word \u2018bakery\u2019 has a completely different meaning. What we offer represents our traditional selection: thin, flat breads with a variety of toppings, filled and unfilled pita breads, as well as a sweet dessert called kunafa,\u201d<\/em> he explained. He emphasised that Mankosha<\/em> is the first of its kind in Gy\u0151r, so they travel to Budapest or Vienna to source their ingredients to ensure an authentic experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young entrepreneurs also wanted their food to be affordable for students: flatbreads are available from just HUF 100,\u00a0arayes<\/em>\u2014pita bread filled with spicy minced meat\u2014costs HUF 1,000, and\u00a0manakish<\/em>\u00a0flatbreads, similar to pizza and topped with various ingredients, are available from HUF 1,300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next door to the charmingly decorated bakery on Dr Kov\u00e1cs P\u00e1l Street, another new establishment has appeared: the 6Dogs<\/em><\/a> hot dog bistro, founded by Ahmad Ziad Odah Haddad and Akram Alsaify. The idea for the street food venue, offering high-quality ingredients, came from the former, who discovered the simple yet delicious dish during his travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy father often travelled to Hungary in the 1980s and recommended Sz\u00e9chenyi University to me. I\u2019m glad I chose Gy\u0151r because it\u2019s not only a beautiful and peaceful city with kind and helpful people, but also very well located. During my studies, thanks to my Hungarian friends, I discovered many places in Hungary and across Europe. On one of my solo trips, I met the owner of an American hot dog restaurant in a Swedish hostel, who showed me the many possibilities such a place could offer,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Ahmad Ziad Odah Haddad, recounting the story behind the founding of\u00a06Dogs<\/em>. He noted that the Hungarian wordplay in the name – \u201chatdog\u201d – often goes unnoticed at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy business partner and I realised that Gy\u0151r didn\u2019t yet have a restaurant specialising in hot dogs, so we saw an opportunity to expand the city\u2019s gastronomic offering. We tried to model the interior design, d\u00e9cor, and food as closely as possible on Western examples, which people really appreciate,\u201d<\/em> he explained. The proud Sz\u00e9chenyi alumnus added that quality is one of their most important principles, which is why every order is prepared with the finest ingredients and utmost care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile hot dogs and perhaps the design may initially appeal more to younger people, our goal is also to reach the local population and introduce them to our specialities,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he emphasised.\u00a0\u201cOf course, the University community is one of our most important customer bases, but we offer our generously topped American-style hot dogs at prices affordable for everyone.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0The owner revealed that they hope\u00a06Dogs<\/em>\u00a0will grow into a genuine brand in the future, potentially leading to expansion and the opening of further outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
